Diane Seuss says, of writing her latest collection, 'Modern Poetry,' 'I really did feel that I didn't know how to move forward without something like an answer.'
The many accolades that have been attached to her work testify to her technical brilliance, her sharpness of language... What has always drawn me to Seuss, though, is the crispness of her emotional acumen.
She has excelled at finding a kind of dry humor that doesn't diminish her weighty themes... unashamed to work through her thoughts as they come: thoughts about grief, the limits of nostalgia, the value of the past.
